Bro how do you master your songs so well?

[Solar Beam]

So I like this. It's just like so...chill and vibey. There are a few things I would like to mention though. So the melody at 0:13 starts late. It's nice to humanize but for synths it's not really all that necessary. I would recommend humanization to like an orchestra song but for synthwave it's not really necessary. That being said I don't know if you did humanize or not but I would try to line the melody and the chords up so they are on the same pace. I also think the song could have been balanced a bit better. Like the melody is much louder and yes you would probably want the melody on top but you don't want it up so far that it starts to drown out other elements. I would probably just turn it down a tad bit since it's not overwhelming the synth's chords but it does sound "disproportionate" to the chords volume. I feel it would've been a better idea to drop the glissandos at 0:23 instead of 0:45 but it doesn't particularly sound bad with the glissandos. But here is the one thing I really wanted to see with this song. Introducing a bit more instruments. A electric piano would be nice with this song (probably, idk.) A countermelody would also be pretty nice. At 1:06 that horn is a kind of loud so I would also turn that down. I mainly giving all this feedback because the song is good but it has so many areas that it could shine in that is held back due to these problems. Still a very good job though. The song is catchy.

Thanks for the review!

Hello! Here's a small review. I would dive too deep into everything. I would recommend that you try adding more instruments. I like the vibe this song gives though. I'm getting a bit of Halloween from this.

"CHOSE YOUR FIGHTER." Gives me like fighting game type vibes. Like they're at a beach fighting. I think that pad or synth that starts at 0:13 could have more room size on the reverb. Other than that I think this is a bop. Well done!

[Bedtime]

Pretty chill. So here's an idea of how to approach this music when producing it. I would say think of a catchy melody or a catchy chord progression and just build off of it. Kind of like Snails House. Keep up the art and music!

Reminds me of mega man a bit

[In My Soul]

So one thing I noticed is that you may hear the voice at 2:04 better with headphones (idk because I'm reviewing this at work and I don't have my headphones in) but it's not that present in the mix without headphones. In my opinion, it's important to keep the mix in mind for headphones and without headphones. I would just turn it up a bit more or try to balance out the mix a bit more. It's hard to pinpoint the issues without headphones but overall it sounds pretty good. Kind of reminds me of a Devil May Cry 3 track.

It is pushed too far back in the stereo field I hear too and it bugs me too
